Produkt
Le Vieux Donjon ist ein feiner, klassischer Châteauneuf-du-Pape von grosser Eleganz. Die Assemblage ist von Grenache dominiert (oft 75% und mehr) und wird in Betontanks vinifiziert und anschliessend 18 Monate in Fässern (kein neues Holz) ausgebaut. Le Vieux Donjon ist von einem Jahrgang zum nächsten sehr beständig und wird von der Kritik und seinen zahlreichen Liebhabern stets gut aufgenommen.

Wineadvocate

Starting with the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape, it’s a forward, supple and sweetly fruited effort that offers up loads of kirsch, garrigue, licorice and pepper on the nose. Playing in the medium-bodied, elegant spectrum, it will evolve nicely for 7-8 years.

Vinous

Bright ruby. A heady bouquet presents candied red fruits, garrigue, woodsmoke and cured meat, with an exotic Asian spice quality gaining strength with air. Sappy, penetrating and seamless, offering sweet, concentrated red and dark berry flavors and a touch of licorice. The smoke and spice notes come back strong on the clinging finish, which is framed by silky, nicely woven tannins. This already shows terrific complexity.

Dunnuck

Tasted as a final blend, the 2011 Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape is already complex and upfront, showing loads of wild herbs, meat juice, licorice, and cherry liqueur aromatics, a medium-bodied, supple mouth-feel, and good, but not great concentration. It is clean and very well-made, yet by Vieux Donjon standards, is surprisingly approachable at this stage. While most likely best drunk in its first decade or so of life, it should still benefit from short-term cellaring.
